| Summary: | AbstractThis review offers a summary of the epoxy-nanoclay nanocomposites research that has been performed. Epoxy-nanoclay nanocomposites have an across-the-board variety of aerospace, defense, construction, and automobile applications. Nanoclay is one of the ideal nano-reinforcement for epoxy because of its ease of workability, environmental accessibility, well-versed chemistry, and lower cost. The significant addition of a smaller quantity of nanoclay, mostly ≤5 wt.%, may efficiently improve polymer composites’ properties. This review aims to provide a state-of-the-art overview of epoxy-nanoclay nanocomposites, including their preparation methods, mechanical, hygrothermal, and wear properties. The discussion highlights the nanoclay influence on the properties listed above and the morphology of epoxy-nanoclay nanocomposites.
